Beyond the Binary of Style.

Style is a true form of art—one that creates wider view of the world, giving others a chance to breathe within each fabric. We should not consider style to be organized by gender, but rather a state of expression: a way of proclaiming identity. This form of resistance allows individuals to deliver a piece of themselves through style that defines who they truly are, not who they are expected to be. It offers the opportunity to reject being a generic phony and instead exist as a real and as authentic as possible, allowing one to predesign each phase of their style journey.

When it comes to style and dressing, gender indicators fall away and individualism becomes the blueprint—creating sensuality, duality, and paradox. Once you trust your instincts, there is no going back. You find that one signature piece, and you wear it for life.

In this outfit—the pearls, chrome shirt, cheetah dress, white socks, and silver heels against a contrast brick wall— I am emphasizing that style is more than gender; it is about contextualization, individuality, and opportunity. It is about taking full risks and developing a style that not only wows people, but break down down the gender roles and norms that the industry has long imposed. Style is about creating art and pursuing the impossible, so you have to be just a confident and have a big ego.

In the fashion industry, you must take a leap of faith, even when fear is present. With this outfit, I was able to express my full self—through sexuality, power, and true confidence—simply by being authentic and real.
